      ► Poor Elmo. He recently went on social media to ask people a simple question and..oh boy...did it turn ugly. The lovable Sesame Street character became the Rodney Dangerfield of the puppet world as he got no respect from people. The question Elmo asked was, "How is everybody doing?" People must have been in a foul mood because Elmo got an earful. Below are some of the responses. Read More "Elmo, I'm gonna be real, I am at my f***ing limit," responded Lebanon-based journalist Séamus Malekafzali. "The world is burning around us, Elmo," said football YouTuber Steven McInerney.   "Not feeling too tickled about life rn, Elmo" a user with the handle @RodzillaOF wrote.  "Elmo we're all one bad day from moving in with Oscar, it's BLEAK out here bro," a user with the handle @CeeHawk replied  "Elmo, each day the abyss we stare into grows a unique horror. One that was previously unfathomable in nature. Our inevitable doom

I read a rather pathetic story about country singer Gabby Barrett and her marriage a few weeks ago that made me want to hunt her down and slap some sense into her silly head. I know she is a supporter of the orange menace, which shows a penchant for delusion, but her relationship sounds more like a fundie nightmare than a loving marriage. This could also be said about those idiotic, misogynistic Tradwives who consider themselves infinitely superior because they aren't those "horrible" feminists who "ruined" society.  These fascistic women choose to obey and serve their men like what they imagine a 1950s housewife would have done happily without complaint. They single-handedly are going to save families and make oppression and imbalance brand new so women can get back to being baby-making machines and domestic slaves. Some of these twisted equal rights deniers are creating brands for themselves to monetize their fundie fantasies and inspire others to join the mo

It's 10am, but Hannah Harlowe Hapenny has only just woken up. She's starting the day right with a wee glass of vino, and why not? Hump Day, as everyone knows, is a special day at Peckerwood Manor, where debauchery is encouraged for one and all.  Hanna  Harlowe Hapenny  has long had her eye on Manor resident Ba-Buttons. You see, like a straight ballet dancer - they're like unicorns! - Ba-Buttons is that rare Manor species, a genuine, coochie-loving straight guy. Which means like a fox in a henhouse, he has his pick of all the straight ladies. Is this fair? Of course not! But it's the reality for Manor ladies who,  yes, very much enjoy dancing and drinking and exchanging waxing tips with Bendy Boyz™, but when the lights are low, prefer a man with a very serious case of the muffin munchies.  Will Hanna Harlowe Hapenny finally nab her man? She's making herself up real pretty, and wearing a top which shows off the girls. Maybe one more glass of vino? For courage? Sure, c

    ►  Katie Price has drawn the anger and ire of pet lovers (including myself) for giving away her puppy, Tank, because he no longer looked cute on IG.  Insiders are saying that Katie lost interest in Tank not only because he was growing but she did not want to invest any time in training him.  This is the 2nd puppy this POS flotation device has given away. A few months ago she gave away another puppy, Duke, to her electrician.  People who know Katie say she loves puppies but quickly loses interest when they are no longer young and adorable.  The UK chapter of PETA is calling for Katie to be investigated not only for being a shitty person but also for the death of pets under her care that have occurred the past few years (that include 5 dogs, 1 chameleon, and a horse).   Read More Katie Price with Tank.

I was browsing the Tourons of Yellowstone Instagram page and found this gem that I related to very strongly. If you haven't come across it before, touron = tourist + moron and is a name for all those assholes that disturb the wildlife and willfully break the rules for the 'gram (looking at you, Mr. Bond). I like to browse it when I feel like being hateful. As someone who lives amongst the touristy mountains, I hate how people do stupid shit like jump in front of a moose for a picture and then cry foul when the moose charges the shit out of them. Anyway, this isn't actually a touron. It's a very grumpy grizzly bear in Montana. He was getting into chicken coops, so the wildlife officials trapped and relocated him. He...didn't like being in the cage and took his rage out on the camera. A paparazzi attack we can all enjoy!

      ► Jo Jo Siwa, America's favorite pony tail aficionado and nemesis of Cameron Bure, is replacing Nigel Lythgoe as  judge on "So You Think You Can Dance".  Nigel has been accused of being a shitbag and is facing allegations of sexual assault and using his position as producer to behave like a wanker.  Paula Abdul is one of the accusers.  Anyway, JoJo has previously appeared as a judge with mixed results. Fans of the show are divided about having her. The naysers are calling her "loud and annoying", and others saying, "yea, she's loud but she knows her stuff".  Read More   JoJo Siwa at the 2021 American Music Awards. Photo: Jordan Strauss/Invision AP/NPR.com Comment:   The only reason I'm familiar with this show is because I occasionally see clips while surfing the internet. JoJo doesn't bother me. Having her as a judge on a dance competition makes sense, I guess. She's been dancing since he was a kid. I do her like for calling out

A less dry science post for today! Part of being a scientist is having a deep, deep appreciation for your field of study. As much as I hate sitting here day after day writing code, fighting with my computer, discussing policy ad nauseam, dealing with bullshit, and/or writing a paper (I HATE WRITING PAPERS), at the end of the day I love the weather. From the peaceful calm of stepping outside on a warm, still morning to the incredible energy that fills every cell of my body when I'm storm chasing, I both love and am humbled by the weather every day. That extends really to the entire universe. Trees, animals, rocks, planets, stars, galaxies...we love it all here at the Manor. That's why today we simply step back and appreciate the beauty of our universe with the release of images of 19 spiral galaxies taken by the James Webb Space Telescope . Via nasa.gov.

Welcome back to The Peckerwood Book Club, the first of 2024! If you're like me, your bookshelves are always near-to-bursting. Me and the hubs have floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the bedroom, the guest room, the living room, and in what we call the dining room, or dining area, against the wall next to the kitchen table. Too much? Probably, but Elder Cat has plenty of wee areas in the shelves to hop up on and rest, or to leap from (without warning) if he's so inclined.  But when is too many books too many? Is there such a thing? Are you panicking just thinking about this? How do you decide which books to keep and which to pitch? And when? For our part, we moved to a new place last summer, and just after, did a serious inspection of every book in our collection as we unpacked them. We had room for them all - we'd already made sure of that - but knew that our shelves would likely be bursting at the seams (again) in about a year if we didn't take drastic action. And so we d

Contrary to popular belief, there are straight men residing at Peckerwood Manor, and though it may seem like we don't give them enough love, Ace and Trixie certainly do. They're the Manor's former gal prostitots who were discovered working the back lot at HoJo's off Highway 9, and honestly, we wanted much better for them than the rough trade, bone-handling life they were living.  And so we welcomed them to live at the Manor full-time - gratis, of course - where they presently entertain many lovebox-loving straight men, but only if the mood moves them. Oh, and do watch yourself with Trixie. She's aces at Texas Hold 'Em (The Stud Hi-Lo variant) and will drain your donkey faster than you can say, "Oh, shit, that's my kid's diaper money!"
